According to the leader of the American Kickboxing Academy, the linear champion is far superior to the Brazilian and will win the fight with relative ease. “He's going to kill him. Werdum doesn't have a chance. Cain will do what he wants with him”, Mendez bet, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

For the coach, the only fighter who has a chance of overthrowing the champion is junior gypsy, who has already faced Velasquez three times, with two victories for the North American and one for the Brazilian. “Júnior dos Santos is still the biggest threat to Cain Velazquez. With all due respect to the other guys, Cain and Júnior are on another level. I am citing facts. On June 13th, Werdum could prove us wrong, but I don’t think that will happen,” he opined.

the fight between Cain Velazquez e Fabricio Werdum will headline UFC 188, the second Ultimate event to be held in Mexico. In the first, in November last year, Werdum would face Velasquez, but the American of Mexican descent was injured and was replaced by Mark Hunt.
